Today I Learned · by Faisal Al Saud · 2026-08-30
Quick poll for people who love facts
I started this because my first week felt a little stuck, and science seemed like a manageable place to experiment. The funny part is that the smallest change was the one I kept.
My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 3 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.
I know this is a tiny sample size, but after 3 attempts the pattern is pretty clear. When I keep the setup simple, I actually follow through.
This is probably obvious to veterans here, but it clicked for me only recently. culture got easier when I stopped treating every attempt like a final exam.
